Foreword: Archaeologists in China never dared to face up to such a problem. Is China's civilization primitive or foreign?
If in the 1960s and 1970s, it could be said to the world that Chinese civilization was comparable to the original splendid civilization in Egypt and the two river basins, then since the discovery of Sanxingdui cultural accumulation, this problem has become more and more serious and has become an unavoidable reality. The cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui have a major issue: Chinese civilization may come from Western Asian civilization.
In fact, this issue has long been raised by western academic circles. China's twenty-eight lodging, the concept of Yin and Yang, the lunar calendar, and bronze casting techniques had existed in West Asia before China. To this end, western scholars put forward a concept, the homology theory of world civilization. Only this theory, China's hidden rule is that people who don't discuss and publish papers are either crazy or bad. But the lid won't cover.
The earliest cultures in China are Yangshao, Hemudu, Hongshan, Liangzhu and Banpo belonging to Yangshao. It's about 6000 years old, semi-basement. There are no traces of civilization except some rough pottery. Hemudu is about 5500-6000 years ago, with rice and little culture. Hongshan Culture has been more cultured for five thousand years, Liangzhu. But all these cultures are dwarfed by Sanxingdui culture.
Sanxingdui is a bright spot of China civilization. Sanxingdui culture can be traced back to 4,600 years ago and continued to 3,000 years ago. History is recognized as a splendid ancient civilization of bronzes, cities, written symbols and large-scale ceremonial buildings. At the same time, there is no such rich cultural accumulation in the Central Plains, or an allegorized era. The farthest place in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is 3500, the tomb of Fu Hao is 3200, the stepmother Wu Dafang is 3200, and Mao is 2800. The manufacturing level of Sanxingdui bronzes is higher than that of the Central Plains in the same period. It is likely that the casting technology in the Central Plains was more spread by Sanxingdui, not the other way around.
The audience who have seen the bronze and gold masks of Sanxingdui will be deeply shocked. The facial features of these characters are nothing like Chinese people! More like Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Moreover, there is no record of this civilization in China's voluminous ancient books, which proves that Sanxingdui civilization is far superior to Shang and Zhou civilizations and is the disseminator of civilization, not the other way around. Perhaps the real source of China civilization is Sanxingdui.
Anthropology and archaeology have proved that mitochondrial Eve appeared in Africa1500,000-200,000 years ago, and modern homo sapiens walked out of Africa100,000 years ago. Their access to China can't be from the Afghan Wakhan Corridor to Kashgar, and it can't be from Ili Lake to Aksu. But along the warm route from Central Asia to India, and then to Myanmar, and then along two routes to China, one is along the three main peaks of the Hengduan Mountains to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. One of the people from chromosomal mutation stayed in Qiangtang Salt Field and was oppressed by the cold, and moved eastward to Hehuang area around Chaka Salt Lake in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, where the human Eden, which is 100 times richer than the Palestinians, flows with milk and honey. This ethnic group is the oldest Qiang nationality in the history of China. It first domesticated yaks and sheep, exchanged salt animals with other ethnic groups, entered Yanchi, Shanxi Province, and merged into Huaxia, the ancestor of the Han nationality. The other branch, along the coast of Vietnam, entered China and Guangxi, went upstream along the coastline, and reached the eastern part of China, forming Baiyue nationality.
There are many migration routes for the Qiang people, some of them entered Xizang Autonomous Region to become ancestors of Tibetans, and some entered Yunnan to become ancestors of Hani, Yi and Bai. More importantly, there is an important migration route, that is, from Hehuang area to Wenchuan in Maoxian county, and settled on both sides of Minjiang River, becoming the area with the largest population of Qiang nationality in China. At present, Wenchuan County is called Qiang Autonomous County, where the oldest descendants of the Qiang people in China live (the oldest and purest Qiang people live in Gansu).
The research results of Sanxingdui show that the source of Sanxingdui culture is Maoxian County. In 2009, the Bowa site was found in the Bowa hanging group in Wenchuan County, which was damaged in the earthquake. 4800 years ago, it was identified as the source of Sanxingdui culture. However, Wenchuan Mountain is so high that it is impossible to have a primary culture. So the source is also in Hehuang area of Qinghai. In other words, Sanxingdui culture and Qiang people entered the Minjiang River Basin in Sichuan from Qinghai and Gansu more than 5,000 years ago, and the ancestors of Sanxingdui created the most advanced Samsung civilization in China at that time.
Therefore, it can be judged that Sanxingdui civilization came from West Asia.
As a supplement, when Tao Ranshi, a missionary in the 20th century, visited the Qiang people in Wenchuan, China, he found that the Qiang people worshipped the only god, worshiped the white sheep, smeared blood on doorframes, and had priests, and were recognized as the 12 lost people in Israel. Ge Hanwei, a missionary and anthropologist from West China Union Medical College, disagreed with Tao Ranshi. He participated in the early excavation of Sanxingdui dramatically, but did not see the sacrificial pit unearthed in the 1980s. If he sees these masks with high noses and obvious faces, his chin will definitely fall to the ground and smash.
